My long weekend !

My weekend started on friday and if anything had gone it's normal way it had been finished on saturday afternoon on a lonely leather seat at Auckland Aiport .... but... anything changed after a few short phonecalls! First the reception to ask for another week, that was no problem at all so I continued. Second call my mum, to tell her that I stay another week! And after she told me that we had 20cm new snow in my hometown I felt very motivated to call Emirates. After 5 minutes in the line I finally reached some human and it took me 5 more minutes to defer my flight to friday. Yeah thats it, so now my weekend could start.I checked out the Seafood festival on Saturday and had some great food over there. Also the bands I saw, have been very nice. I started my sunday very early to catch the ferry to Rangitoto island. I love hiking and I searched for a good place since 3 weeks. Ok thats not real hiking, the highest point is about 260meters, but it was fun. I walked about 5 hours, had some lunch and went back to the Auckland Harbour. In the evening I went to the movies and saw Avatar 3D. I love that movie and can't wait for the blue ray to be published. Puhh... what a day! On Monday, the last day of the festival, I went to the harbour again to see the Regatta. It was ok but the weather was really bad. In the afternoon I visited the Auckland Art Gallery and saw the Red Bull Airshow at the festival.
Finally I can say that it was totally worth it to extend my stay here in Auckland. I enjoy my, now really, last week and Im looking forward to go back to Hamburg.
